Tlacamexquimilli: Bulk of Ashes
When a Mexica died from natural causes, the body was wrapped in a fetal position inside of a rucksack, along with different elements that they would need in their journey to Mictlan.
But, apparently, some of them did not make it to that point, and they would appear as “spirits”, roaming the roads and streets. They would take the form of a bulk of ashes or of a shrouded corpse, they could have many heads or legs, or resemble a shapeless mass, full of eyes and sharp teeth, wandering in the night to scare the living.
On many occasions, people would die from fear caused by ghosts.
Some said that this was actually a trick from Tezcatlipoca to test the warriors. If they were brave, he would reward them with a symbolic gift; but if they were cowards, they would surely die on the battlefield or from diseases.
These are some pieces from our designers, they still are in progress #WIP.
Which one do you find more terrifying?
